| Step 1 | Step 2 | ||
| Apply an adhesive agent to colored wood materials to make a wood base with an intricate pattern. |  |
Saw the patterned wood base precisely into patterned members and plane the members. |  |
| Step 3 | Step 4 | ||
| Assemble the patterned members with an adhesive agent into unit patterned pieces. |  |
Bond the unit patterned pieces together and saw them to desired dimensions. |  |
| Step 5 | Step 6 | ||
| Put the sawed blocks together to create a continuous pattern and make an original board. |  |
With a special large plane. shave the original board into paper-thin sheets of wood. These paper-thin sheets of wood are called “Zuku” sheets. |  |
